Abstract

Photodetector Focal Plane Arrays are used in electronic image detection. This paper examines the multiplexer that converts the detected signals to a Time Division Multiplexed form. This paper will present two types of multiplexers, a traditional linear multiplexer and a matrix addressed multiplexer. These arrays will use the concept of charge storage to amplify the detected signal. The capacitance of the junctions of phototransistors are used for charge storage.
